Mayor Cllr Taylor said: “Choral music is very uplifting and popular and I hope local people will join me to help raise the roof at The Anvil during my Spring Charity Concert.
“We have a programme filled with familiar tunes, such as Hallelujah and Jerusalem, and I hope the audience will sing along. It promises to be a great evening, so don’t forget to buy your tickets and give the Mayor’s Charity Appeal a real boost.”
